Highlights:
Engage your students in this first chapter of an active learning, fully ADAPTABLE, biomedically relevant introductory physics curriculum.
Abstract:
Designed for an introductory physics course for pre-med/pre-health students, this first chapter on 1D motion begins with standard physics examples (i.e. people walking, balls, planes, etc.) combined with biomedical expert videos to scaffold students' foundational physics learning. Biomedical applications expand in subsequent chapters of this curriculum. This chapter resource includes: Active Reading Text, Biomedical Expert Videos, Learning Activities & Assessment Questions. Suggestions for classroom use are included in the INTRODUCTION document, & instructors are encouraged to adapt as needed to best fit institution/course needs.
